To resize a cycle

Grab the handles (triangles) at either end of the cycle to move the start or end points

(you can even do this while Logic Express is open).

Note: You can set either the start or end point of a cycle (whichever is closest) by

Shift-clicking a position in the Bar ruler. This works even when the stripe is outside the

visible range, or Cycle mode is turned off.

When you set the size of a cycle graphically in the Bar ruler, its start and end points (and

therefore, overall size) is quantized to the setting chosen in the Snap menu. For more

information, see Snapping Region Edits to Time Positions.

Defining a Cycle with Locator Positions

You can enter the locator positions—therefore setting the cycle boundaries—numerically

in the Transport bar Locator display. The locators are shown to the right of the Position

display. The top value denotes the left locator position, and the bottom one, the right

locator position.

Right locator

Left locatorPosition display

To define the locator positions in the Transport bar

Do one of the following:

Double-click either locator display field, and enter a left or right position value.

Type in all bar, beat, sub-beat, and tick values (using space or a period between numbers),

and press Return to close the entry box and set the locator.

Note: You can quickly set the locator to the beginning of a bar by simply inputting the

first digit.

Click-hold any of the left or right locator number fields in the Transport bar, and move

the mouse up or down.

The corresponding cycle boundary (if shown in the Bar ruler) moves to match.

You also have the option of displaying the locator positions as SMPTE values, or as musical

positions.

To change the display of locator positions

Do one of the following:

Control-click the display area of the Transport bar, and choose Display Locators as Time.
